HYBRID HUMAN/ANIMAL FACTOR VIII

Abstract: A hybrid procoagulant factor VIII is produced by isolation and recombination of human and other non-human mammalian factor VIII subunits or domains, or by genetic engineering of the human and animal factor VIII genes. Subunits or domains of factor VIII that have been purified from human or animal plasma are isolated, and hybrid human/animal factor VIII is produced by (1) mixing either animal heavy chain subunits with human light chain subunits or by mixing human heavy chain subunits with animal light chain subunits, thereby producing human light chain/animal heavy chain and human heavy chain/animal light chain hybrid molecules; or by (2) mixing one or more domains of one species with one or more domains of the other species. These hybrid molecules are isolated by ion exchange chromatography. Alternatively, recombinant DNA methods are used to change elements of animal factor VIII or human factor VIII to the corresponding elements of human factor VIII or animal factor VIII, respectively, to produce hybrid human/animal factor VIII.

Description: HYBRID HUMAN/.ANIMA FACTOR VIII The government has rights in this invention arising from National Institutes of Health Grant Nos. HL40921, HL46215, and HL36094 that partially funded the research leading to this invention. Background of the Invention This invention relates generally to a hybrid factor VIII having human and animal factor VIII amino acid sequence and methods of preparation and use thereof. Blood clotting begins when platelets adhere to the cut wall of an injured blood vessel at a lesion site. Subsequently, in a cascade of enzymatically regulated reactions, soluble fibrinogen molecules are converted by the enzyme thrombin to insoluble strands of fibrin that hold the platelets together in a thrombus. At each step in the cascade, a protein precursor is converted to a protease that cleaves the next protein precursor in the series. Cofactors are required at most of the steps. In its active form, the protein factor VIII is a cofactor that is required for the activation of factor X by the protease, activated factor IX. Factor VIII or antihemophilic factor was noticed in plasma and named in the 1930s. In the 1940s, a deficiency in factor VIII was associated with the clotting disorder hemophilia A. Factor VIII was found to be X-linked and was hypothesized to be a protein. Work involving bovine, human, and porcine plasma identified factor VIII as a protein in the 1980s, though its definitive cellular source remains uncertain. Precisely how factor VIII functions in blood coagulation is unknown. It is known that factor VIII is activated to factor Villa proteolytically by thrombin or factor Xa. In combination with calcium and phospholipid, factor Villa makes factor IXa a more efficient activator of factor X by an unknown mechanism. People deficient in factor VIII or having antibodies against factor VIII who are not treated with factor VIII suffer uncontrolled internal bleeding that may cauεe a range of serious symptoms, from inflammatory reactions in joints to early death. Severe hemophiliacs, who number about 10,000 in the United States, can be treated with infusion of factor VIII, which will restore the blood's normal clotting ability if administered with sufficient frequency and concentration. The classic definition of factor VIII, in fact, is that substance present in normal blood plasma that corrects the clotting defect in plasma derived from individuals with hemophilia A. Several preparations of human plasma-derived factor VIII of varying degrees of purity are available commercially for the treatment of hemophilia A. These include a partially-purified factor VIII derived from the pooled blood of many donors that is heat- and detergent-treated for viruses but contains a significant level of antigenic proteins; a monoclonal antibody-purified factor VIII that has lower levels of antigenic impurities and viral contamination; and recombinant human factor VIII, clinical trials for which are underway. Additionally, a preparation of partially-purified porcine factor VIII is available to treat patients with inhibitors to human factor VIII, i.e., those who have circulating antibody molecules that bind and neutralize human factor VIII. Hemophiliacs require daily replacement of factor VIII to prevent the deforming hemophilic arthropathy that occurs after many years of recurrent hemorrhages into the joints. However, supplies of factor VIII concentrates have never been plentiful enough for treating hemophiliacs adequately because of problems in commercial production and therapeutic use. For example, the commonly used plasma-derived is difficult to isolate and purify, is immunogenic, and requires treatment to remove the risk of infectivity from AIDS and hepatitis viruses. Recombinant human factor VIII may lessen the latter two problems. Porcine factor VIII may also present an alternative, since human factor VIII is unstable at physiologic concentrations and pH, is present in blood at an extremely low concentration (0.2 μg/ml plasma) , and its specific clotting activity iε low, compared with porcine factor VIII. Since many inhibitors of human factor VIII react less strongly with porcine factor VIII, porcine factor VIII is currently used to correct factor VIII deficiency in patients under conditions in which they do not respond to infusions of human factor VIII. A limitation of porcine factor VIII is the development of inhibitory antibodies to it after one or more infusions. The problems associated with the commonly used, commercially available, plasma-derived factor VIII have stimulated significant interest in the development of a better factor VIII product. There is a need for a more potent factor VIII molecule so that more units of clotting activity can be delivered per molecule; a factor VIII molecule that is stable at a selected pH and physiologic concentration; a factor VIII molecule that is less apt to produce inhibitory antibodies; and a factor VIII molecule that evades immune detection in patients who have already acquired antibodies to human factor VIII. U.S. Serial No. 07/864,004 describes the discovery of hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecules having coagulant activity, in which elements of the factor VIII molecule of one species are substituted for corresponding elements of the factor VIII molecule of the other species. U.S. Serial No. 08/212,133 describes hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules, in which elements of the factor VIII molecule of one species are substituted for corresponding elements of the factor VIII molecule of the other species. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a factor VIII that corrects hemophilia in a patient deficient in factor VIII or having inhibitors of human factor VIII. It is a further object of the present invention to provide methods for treatment of hemophiliacs. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a factor VIII that is stable at a selected pH and physiologic concentration. Summary of the Invention A hybrid factor VIII with coagulant activity including in one embodiment factor VIII amino acid sequence derived from human and pig or other non- human mammal (referred to herein as "animal"); or in a second embodiment including factor VIII amino acid sequence derived from human or animal or both and amino acid sequence not derived from factor VIII, preferably substituted in an antigenic region of the factor VIII, is described. This hybrid factor VIII molecule is produced by isolation and recombination of human and animal factor VIII subunits or domains; or by genetic engineering of the human and animal factor VIII genes. In the preferred embodiment, recombinant DNA methods are used to substitute elements of animal factor VIII for the corresponding elements of human factor VIII, resulting in hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules. In another embodiment, recombinant DNA methods are used to replace one or more amino acids in the human or animal factor VIII or in a hybrid of two species with amino acids that do not have sequence identity to factor VIII, preferably a sequence of amino acids that is non- immunoreactive with naturally occurring inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII. An example of an amino acid sequence that can be used to replace particularly immunogenic epitopes is a sequence of alanine residues. In another embodiment, subunitε of factor VIII are isolated and purified from human or animal plasma, and hybrid human/animal factor VIII is produced either by mixture of animal heavy chain subunits with human light chain subunits or by mixture of human heavy chain subunits with animal light chain subunits, thereby producing human light chain/animal heavy chain and human heavy chain/animal light chain hybrid molecules. These hybrid molecules are isolated by ion exchange chromatography. Alternatively, one or more domains or partial domains of factor VIII are isolated and purified from human or animal plasma, and hybrid human/animal factor VIII is produced by mixture of domains or partial domains from one species with domains or partial domains of the second species. Hybrid molecules can be isolated by ion exchange chromatography. Methods for preparing highly purified hybrid factor VIII are described having the steps of: (a) isolation of subunits of plasma-derived human factor VIII and subunits of plasma-derived animal factor VIII, followed by reconstitution of coagulant activity by mixture of human and animal subunits, followed by isolation of hybrid human/animal factor VIII by ion exchange chromatography; (b) isolation of domains or partial domains of plasma-derived human factor VIII and domains or partial domains of plasma-derived animal factor VIII, followed by reconstitution of coagulant activity by mixture of human and animal domains, followed by isolation of hybrid human/animal factor VIII by ion exchange chromatography; (c) construction of domains or partial domains of animal factor VIII by recombinant DNA technology, followed by exchange of domains of animal and human factor VIII to produce hybrid human/animal factor VIII with coagulant activity; (d) creation of hybrid human/animal factor VIII by replacement of specific amino acid residues of human factor VIII with the animal factor VIII amino acid residues having sequence identity to the replaced human amino acids by site- directed mutagenesis; or (e) creation of a hybrid factor VIII molecule having human or animal amino acid sequence or both, in which specific amino acid residues of the factor VIII are replaced with amino acid residues not having sequence identity to factor VIII by site-directed mutagenesis. Some species of hybrid factor VIII have specific activity greater than human factor VIII and equal to or slightly higher than porcine factor VIII. Some species of hybrid factor VIII have immunoreactivity with inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII equal to or less than human or porcine factor VIII. Brief Description of the Drawings Figure IA and IB is an amino acid sequence alignment of human, mouse, and porcine factor VIII A2 domains, in which residue numbering begins at position 373 with respect to the full length sequence of human factor VIII (SEQ ID NO: 2) . Detailed Description of the Invention - Definitions Unless otherwise specified or indicated, as used herein, "hybrid factor VIII" or "hybrid protein" denotes any functional factor VIII protein molecule with (1) amino acid sequence derived from both human and porcine (human/porcine) or other non-human mammalian (human/non-porcine mammalian) factor VIII; (2) amino acid sequence derived from two different non-human mammalian species (animal- l/animal-2, porcine/non-human, non-porcine mammal), such as pig and mouse; and (3) amino acid sequence derived from hybrid, human, or animal factor VIII into which amino acid sequence having no known sequence identity to factor VIII is substituted. As used herein, "mammalian factor VIII" includes factor VIII with amino acid sequence derived from any non-human mammal, unless otherwise specified. "Animal", as used herein, refers to pig and other non-human mammals. Hybrid human/porcine factor VIII has coagulation activity in a human factor VIII assay. This activity, as well as that of other hybrid factor VIII, may be lesε than, equal to, or greater than that of either plaεma-derived or recombinant human factor VIII. In some embodiments, this hybrid factor VIII is not cross- reactive or iε lesε cross-reactive with all naturally occurring inhibitory factor VIII antibodies than human or porcine factor VIII. This hybrid factor VIII can be made (1) by substitution of isolated, plasma-derived animal subunits or human subunits (heavy or light chains) for corresponding human subunits or animal subunitε; (2)' by substitution of human domains or animal domains (Al, A2, A3, B, CI, and C2) for corresponding animal domains or human domains; (3) by substitution of parts of human domains or animal domains for parts of animal domains or human domains; (4) by substitution of one or more human or animal specific amino acid residue(ε) for the correεponding animal or human specific amino acid residue(s) ; or (5) by substitution of one or more specific amino acid residue(s) in human, animal, or hybrid factor VIII with amino acid sequence that has no known sequence identity to factor VIII. A fusion protein is the product of a hybrid gene in which the coding sequence for one protein is extensively altered, for example, by fusing part of it to the coding sequence for a second protein from a different gene to produce a hybrid gene that encodes the fusion protein. As used herein, a fusion protein is a subset of the hybrid protein described in this application. "Corresponding amino acids" are those present at a site in a factor VIII molecule that have the same structure and/or function as a site in another factor VIII molecule, although the amino acid residue number may not be identical. "Specific activity," as used herein, refers to the activity that will correct the coagulation defect of human factor VIII deficient plasma. Specific activity is measured in units of clotting activity per milligram total factor VIII protein in a standard assay in which the clotting time of human factor VIII deficient plasma iε compared to that of normal human plasma. One unit of factor VIII activity is the activity present in one milliliter of normal human plasma. In the assay, the shorter the time for clot formation, the greater the activity of the factor VIII being assayed. The human factor VIII cDNA nucleotide sequence iε εhown in SEQ ID N0:1. The human factor VIII predicted amino acid εequence iε shown in SEQ ID NO:2. In a factor VIII molecule, a "domain" as used herein is a continuous sequence of amino acids that are defined by internal amino acid sequence identity and εiteε of proteolytic cleavage by thrombin. Unless otherwise specified, factor VIII domains include the following amino acid residues, when the sequenceε are aligned with the human amino acid sequence (SEQ ID N0:2): Al, residues 1-372; A2, residues 373-740; B, residues 741-1648; A3, residues 1690-2032; CI, residues 2033-2172; C2, residues 2173-2332. The A3-C1-C2 sequence includes residues 1690-2332. The remaining sequence, residueε 1649-1689, iε uεually referred to aε the factor VIII light chain activation peptide. A "partial domain" as used herein is a continuous sequence of amino acidε containing part of a domain. Aε uεed herein, a "hybrid human/animal factor VIII equivalent" or "hybrid factor VIII equivalent" iε an active factor VIII molecule wherein (l) one or more εpecific amino acid residues in the human, animal, or hybrid factor VIII that forms an epitope which iε immunoreactive with endogenouε factor VIII inhibitory antibodies is subεtituted with one or more amino acid residues that have no known identity to human or animal factor VIII sequence, and that do not form an epitope immunoreactive with endogenous factor VIII inhibitory antibodies; and/or (2) a one or more specific amino acid residues in the human, animal, or hybrid factor VIII that iε critical to coagulant activity is substituted with one or more specific amino acid residues that have no known identity to human or animal factor VIII sequence that also have coagulant activity. The resulting hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule has less reactivity with factor VIII inhibitory antibodies than the unεubεtituted human factor VIII and haε coagulant activity. "Factor VIII deficiency," aε uεed herein, includes deficiency in clotting activity caused by production of a defective factor VIII, by inadequate or no production of factor VIII, or by partial or total inhibition of factor VIII by inhibitors. Hemophilia A is a type of factor VIII deficiency resulting from a defect in an X-linked gene and the absence or deficiency of the factor VIII protein it encodes. "Subunits" of human or animal factor VIII, as used herein, are the heavy and light chains of the protein. The heavy chain of factor VIII contains three "domains," Al, A2, and B. The light chain of factor VIII also contains three "domains," A3, CI, and C2. As used herein, "diagnostic assays" include assays that in some manner utilize the antigen- antibody interaction to detect and/or quantify the amount of a particular antibody that is present in a teεt sample to assist in the selection of medical therapies. There are many such assayε known to those of skill in the art. As used herein, however, the hybrid human\animal DNA and protein expressed therefrom, in whole or in part, can be substituted for the corresponding reagents in the otherwise known assays, whereby the modified assays may be used to detect and/or quantify antibodies to factor VIII. It is the use of theεe reagentε, the hybrid human/animal DNA and protein expressed therefrom or the hybrid human/animal equivalent factor VIII DNA and protein expressed therefrom, that permits modification of known assays for detection of antibodies to human or animal factor VIII or to hybrid human/animal factor VIII. Such assays include, but are not limited to ELISAs, immunodiffusion aεεayε, and immunoblotε. Suitable ethodε for practicing any of theεe aεεayε are known to those of skill in the art. Aε used herein, the hybrid human/animal or equivalent factor VIII or portion thereof that includes at least one epitope of the protein, can be used as the diagnostic reagent. The terms "epitope", "antigenic site", "immunogenic site", and "antigenic determinant", as used herein, are used synonymously and are defined as a portion of the hybrid factor VIII protein that is specifically recognized by an antibody. It can consist of any number of amino acid residueε, and it can be dependent upon the primary, εecondary, or tertiary structure of the protein. In accordance with this disclosure, a factor VIII protein or equivalent that includes at least one epitope may be used as a reagent in the diagnostic assays. - General Description of Methods Hybrid human/animal and equivalent factor VIII molecules, some of which have greater coagulant activity in a standard clotting asεay when compared to highly-purified human factor VIII, and εome of which have less immunoreactivity to inhibitory antibodies to human or porcine factor VIII, can be constructed as follows. Five types of hybrid human/porcine or equivalent factor VIII molecules and the methods for preparing them are disclosed herein: those obtained (1) by εubstituting a porcine subunit (i.e., heavy chain or light chain) for the corresponding human subunit; (2) by substituting one or more porcine domain(ε) (i.e., Al, A2, A3, B, CI, and C2) for the corresponding human domain(ε) ; (3) by substituting part of one or more porcine domain(ε) for the correεponding part of one or more domain(ε) of the human domain; (4) by substituting one or more specific amino acid residue(ε) in human factor VIII with the corresponding residue(ε) from the porcine sequence; and (5) by substituting one or more specific amino acids in human, porcine, or hybrid human/porcine factor VIII with amino acid residue{s} having no known sequence identity to factor VIII. Five types of hybrid factor VIII molecules that have human factor VIII amino acid sequence and non-porcine mammalian factor VIII amino acid sequence, or as in the fifth category, human, non-porcine mammalian, or hybrid factor VIII, can also be prepared by the same methods. Hybrid human/animal and equivalent factor VIII proteins listed above under groups (l)-(3) are made by isolation of subunits, domains, or parts of domains of plaεma-derived factor VIII, followed by reconstitution and purification. Hybrid human/animal and equivalent factor VIII proteins deεcribed under groups (3)-(5) above are made by recombinant DNA methods. The hybrid molecule may contain a greater or lesεer percentage of human than animal sequence, depending on the origin of the various regions, aε described in more detail below. It is shown below that hybrid human/porcine factor VIII consisting of porcine heavy chain/human light chain and corresponding to the first type of hybrid listed above has greater specific coagulant activity in a standard clotting assay as compared to human factor VIII. The hybrid human/animal or equivalent factor VIII with coagulant activity, whether the activity is higher, equal to, or lower than that of human factor VIII, can be useful in treating patients with inhibitors, since these inhibitors can react less with hybrid human/animal or equivalent factor VIII than with either human or porcine factor VIII. Preparation of hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules from iεolated human and animal factor VIII εubunitε by reconεtitution: Hybrid human/animal factor VIII moleculeε are prepared and isolated, and their procoagulant activity is characterized. One method, modified from procedures reported by Fay, P.J., et al . , 265 J. Biol. Chem. 6197 (1990) ; and Lollar, J.S., et al . , 263 J. Biol. Chem. 10451 (1988) , involves the isolation of subunitε (heavy and light chains) of human and animal factor VIII, followed by recombination of human heavy chain and animal light chain or by recombination of human light chain and animal heavy chain. Isolation of both human and animal individual subunits involves disεociation of the light chain/heavy chain dimer by chelation of calcium with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) , followed by monoS™ HPLC (Pharmacia-LKB, Piscataway, NJ) . Hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules are reconstituted from isolated subunits in the presence of calcium. Hybrid human light chain/animal heavy chain or animal light chain/human heavy chain factor VIII is isolated from unreacted heavy chains by monoS™ HPLC by procedures for the isolation of porcine factor VIII, such as described by Lollar, J.S., et al . , 71 Blood 137-143 (1988) . These methods, described in detail in the examples below, result in hybrid human light chain/porcine heavy chain molecules with greater than six times the procoagulant activity of human factor VIII. Other hybrid human/non-porcine mammalian factor VIII molecules can be prepared, isolated, and characterized for activity by the same methods. Preparation of hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules from isolated human and animal factor VIII domains by reconstitution: Hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules with domain substitutions are prepared and isolated, and their procoagulant activity is characterized. One method involves the isolation of one or more domains of human and one or more domainε of animal factor VIII, followed by recombination of human and animal domains to form hybrid human/animal factor VIII with coagulant activity, as deεcribed by Lollar, P., et al . , 267(33) J. Biol. Chem. 23652-23657 (Nov. 25, 1992). Plasma-derived animal and human A1/A3-C1-C2 dimers are isolated by dissociation of the A2 domain from factor Villa in the presence of NaOH, after which the mixture is diluted and the dimer is eluted using monoS™ HPLC (Pharmacia-LKB, Piscataway, NJ) . The A2 domain is isolated from factor Villa as a minor component in the monoS™ HPLC. Hybrid human/animal factor VIII moleculeε are reconεtituted by mixing equal volumeε of the A2 domain of one species and the A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer of the other species. Hybrid factor VIII with one or more domain substitutions ' is isolated from the mixture of unreacted dimers and A2 domains by monoS™ HPLC by procedures for the isolation of porcine factor VIII, as described by Lollar, J.S., et al . , 71 Blood 137-143 (1988). These methods, described in detail in the examples below, result in hybrid factor VIII moleculeε with procoagulant activity. Preparation of hybrid factor VIII molecules by recombinant engineering of the sequences encoding human, animal, and hybrid factor VIII subunits. domains, or parts of domains: Substitution of subunits, domains, parts of domains: The human factor VIII gene was isolated and expressed in mammalian cells, as reported by Toole, J.J., et al . , 312 Nature 342-347 (1984) (Genetics Institute); Gitschier, J. , et al . , 312 Nature 326- 330 (1984) (Genentech) ; Wood, W.I., et al . , 312 Nature 330-337 (1984) (Genentech); Vehar, G.A. , et al . , 312 Nature 337-342 (1984) (Genentech) , and the amino acid sequence was deduced from cDNA. U.S. Patent No. 4,965,199 to Capon et al . discloεeε a recombinant DNA method for producing factor VIII in mammalian host cells and purification of human factor VIII. Factor VIII expresεion in CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells and BHKC (baby hamεter kidney cellε) haε been reported. The cDNA εequence encoding human factor VIII and predicted amino acid εequence are shown in SEQ ID NO:l and SEQ ID NO:2, respectively. Recombinant hybrid factor VIII is prepared starting with human cDNA (Biogen, Inc.) encoding the factor VIII sequence corresponding to domains A1-A2-A3-C1-C2. The factor VIII encoded by this cDNA lacks the entire B domain and corresponds to amino acid residueε 1-740 and 1649-2332 of εingle chain human factor VIII (see SEQ ID NO:2), according to the numbering syεtem of Wood et al . , 312 Nature 330-337 (1984) . The B domain iε deleted, since it does not appear to be necessary for biological function. Porcine factor VIII has been isolated and purified from plasma (Fass, D.N., et al . , 59 Blood 594 (1982)). The amino acid sequence of the B and part of the A2 domains of porcine factor VIII are reported by Toole, J.J. , et al . , 83 Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 5939-5942 (1986) . Both porcine and human factor VIII are isolated from plasma as a two subunit protein. The subunits, known as the heavy chain and light chain, are held together by a non-covalent bond that requires calcium or other divalent metal ionε. The heavy chain of factor VIII contains three domains, Al, A2, and B, which are linked covalently. The light chain of factor VIII also contains three domains, designated A3, CI, and C2. The B domain has no known function and can be removed from the molecule proteolytically or by recombinant DNA technology methods without significant alteration in any measurable parameter of factor VIII. Human recombinant factor VIII has a similar structure and function to plasma-derived factor VIII, though it is not glycosylated unless expressed in mammalian cells. Both human and porcine activated factor VIII (factor Villa) have three subunits due to cleavage of the heavy chain between the Al and A2 domains. Thiε εtructure iε deεignated A1/A2/A3-C1-C2. Human factor Villa is not stable under the conditions that stabilize porcine factor Villa. This is because of the weaker association of the A2 subunit of human factor Villa. Diεεociation of the A2 subunit of human and porcine factor Villa iε associated with losε of activity in the factor Villa molecule. The complete A2 domain of porcine factor VIII cDNA (SEQ ID NO:3), having sequence identity to residues 373-740 in SEQ ID NO:l, in mature human factor VIII, was sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:4. Although only the A2 and B domains of porcine factor VIII have been sequenced entirely, the remainder of the porcine factor VIII molecule can be sequenced by standard cloning techniques, such as those described in Weis, J.H., "Construction of recombinant DNA libraries," in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. F.M. Ausubel et al . , edε. (1991) , so that full length hybrids can be constructed. Individual subunits, domains, or parts of domains of porcine or human factor VIII cDNA can be cloned and substituted for the corresponding human or porcine subunits, domains, or parts of domains by established mutagenesiε techniqueε. For example, Lubin, I.M., et al . , 269(12) J. Biol Chem. 8639-8641 (March 1994) deεcribeε techniqueε for εubstituting the porcine A2 domain for the human domain. These hybrid factor VIII cDNA moleculeε can be cloned into expreεεion vectors for ultimate expression of active hybrid human/porcine factor VIII protein molecules by established techniques, aε deεcribed by Selden, R.F., "Introduction of DNA into mammalian cells," in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. F.M. Ausubel et al . , eds (1991). In a preferred embodiment, a hybrid human/porcine cDNA encoding factor VIII, in which the porcine sequence encodes a domain or part domain, such the A2 domain or part domain, is inserted in a mammalian expresεion vector, such as ReNeo, to form a construct that is used to stably transfect cells in culture, such as baby hamster kidney cells, using methods that are routine in the art, such as liposome-mediated tranεfection (Lipofectin™, Life Technologieε, Inc.). Expreεεion of recombinant hybrid factor VIII protein can be confirmed, for example, by sequencing, Northern and Weεtern blotting, or polymeraεe chain reaction (PCR) . Hybrid factor VIII protein in the culture media in which the transfected cells expressing the protein are maintained can be precipitated, pelleted, washed, resuεpended in an appropriate buffer, and the recombinant hybrid factor VIII protein purified by standard techniques, including immunoaffinity chromatography. In one embodiment, the factor VIII is expresεed aε a fusion protein from a recombinant molecule in which a molecule encoding a protein that enhances stability, secretion, detection, or isolation is inserted in place adjacent to the factor VIII encoding sequence. The purified hybrid factor VIII can be asεayed for immunoreactivity and coagulation activity by standard asεayε including, for example, the plasma-free factor VIII asεay, the one-εtage clotting aεεay, and the enzyme-linked immunoεorbent assay using purified recombinant human factor VIII as a standard. Other vectors, including both plasmid and eukaryotic viral vectors, may be used to expresε a recombinant gene construct in eukaryotic cellε depending on the preference and judgment of the skilled practitioner (see, for example, Sambrook et al.. Chapter 16). Other vectors and expresεion systemε, including bacterial, yeaεt, and inεect cell systems, can be used but are not preferred due to differences in, or lack of, glycoεylation. Recombinant hybrid factor VIII protein can be expressed in a variety of cellε commonly uεed for culture and recombinant mammalian protein expression. A preferred cell line, available from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD, is baby hamster kidney cells, which are cultured using routine procedure and media. The same methods can be used to prepare other recombinant hybrid factor VIII protein, such as human/non-porcine mammalian. Starting with primers from the known human DNA sequence, the murine and part of the porcine factor VIII cDNA have been cloned. Factor VIII εequences of other species for use in preparing a hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecule can be obtained using the known human DNA sequence as a starting point. Other techniques that can be employed include PCR amplification methods with animal tisεue DNA, and use of a cDNA library from the animal to clone out the factor VIII sequence. Aε an example, hybrid human/mouse factor VIII protein can be made as follows. DNA clones corresponding to the mouse homolog of the human factor VIII gene have been isolated and sequenced and the amino acid sequence of mouse factor VIII predicted, as described in Elder, G., et al . , 16(2) Genomics 374-379 (May 1993), which alεo includeε a compariεon of the predicted amino acid εequenceε of mouse, human, and part of porcine factor VIII molecules. The mouse factor VIII cDNA sequence and predicted amino acid sequence are shown in SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:8, respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the RNA amplification with transcript sequencing (RAWTS) methods described in Sarkar, G., and S.S. Sommer, 244 Science 331-334 (1989), can be used. Briefly, the steps are (1) cDNA εyntheεiε with oligo(dT) or an mRNA-specific oligonucleotide primer; (2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in which one or both oligonucleotides contains a phage promoter attached to a sequence complementary to the region to be amplified; (3) transcription with a phage promoter; and (4) reverse transcriptase- mediated dideoxy sequencing of the transcript, which iε primed with a neεted (internal) oligonucleotide. In addition to revealing εequence information, " this method can generate an in vitro translation product by incorporating a translation initiation εignal into the appropriate PCR primer; and can be used to obtain novel mRNA sequence information from other species. Substitution of amino acid(s): The A2 domain is necessary for the procoagulant activity of the factor VIII molecule. According to Lollar, P., et al. , 267 J. Biol. Chem. 23652-23657 (1992), the difference in coagulant activity between human and porcine factor VIII appears to be based on a difference in amino acid sequence between one or more residues in the A2 domain. Further, the A2 and the C2 domains in the human factor VIII molecule are thought to harbor the epitopes to which most, if not all, inhibitory antibodieε react, according to Hoyer, L.W., and D. Scandella, 31 Semin. Hematol. 1-5 (1994) . Recombinant hybrid factor VIII molecules can be made by substitution of amino acid sequence from animal A2, C2, and/or other domains into human factor VIII or amino acid sequence from the human A2, C2, and/or other domains into animal factor VIII, selecting in either case amino acid sequence that differs between the animal and human molecules. Hybrid molecules can alεo be made in which amino acid sequence from more than one animal is substituted in the human factor VIII molecule, or in which human and other animal amino acid sequence is inserted into an animal factor VIII molecule. Hybrid equivalent moleculeε can alεo be made, in which human, animal, or hybrid factor VIII contain one or more amino acids that have no known sequence identity to factor VIII. These hybrid molecules can then be assayed by standard procedureε for coagulant activity and for reactivity with inhibitory antibodieε to factor VIII for identification of hybrid factor VIII molecules with enhanced coagulant activity and/or decreased antibody immunoreactivity. Hybrid molecules may also be identified that have reduced coagulant activity compared to human but still have decreased antibody reactivity. The methods described herein to prepare hybrid human/porcine factor VIII with subεtitution of amino acidε can be uεed to prepare recombinant hybrid human/non- porcine mammalian factor VIII protein, and hybrid animal-l/animal-2 factor VIII with amino acid εequence subεtitutionε. Hybrid factor VIII molecules with altered coagulant activity. Hybrid human/porcine factor VIII can be prepared in which human factor VIII amino acid εequence having procoagulant activity in the A2 domain iε replaced with the correεponding porcine amino acid sequence, also having procoagulant activity. The εequence to be replaced iε εelected and prepared aε follows. Both human and porcine A2 domainε have 368 reεidueε (SEQ ID NOε:2 and 6 , reεpectively) . Aε shown in Figure 1A-1B, which compares the alignment of the amino acid sequences of the human and porcine factor VIII A2 domains (residue numbering starts at position 373 with respect to the full length amino acid εequence of human factor VIII, SEQ ID NO:2), 50 of theεe reεidues are different and 318 are identical; i.e., there is an 86 percent sequence identity when human and porcine factor VIII A2 domains are aligned. Therefore, there is a large but finite number of combinations that will result in hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecules with enhanced coagulant activity, based on these 50 differences. For preparation of a hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecule, the initial target candidates for mutagenesis, which were revealed upon comparison of the human and porcine A2 amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOs:2 and 6, reεpectively) within the human A2 domain, are shown in Table I. TABLE I. HUMAN AMINO ACID SEQUENCE TARGET CANDIDATES FOR MUTAGENESIS (SEQ ID NO:2) Sequence Residues Mismatches Charge Changes 398-403 6 4 1 434-444 10 4 3 484-496 13 7 3 598-603 6 4 2 536-541 6 4 0 713-722 10 6 2 727-737 11 6 2 Table I and the bold letters of Figure 1A-1B illustrate seven sequences in the human and pig A2 domain amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOε:2 and 6, reεpectively) that conεtitute only 17 percent of the A2 domain but include 70 percent of the sequence differences between human and porcine A2 domains. Hybrids are made by selecting porcine sequence based on the sequence differences and substituting it into the human A2 domain. Directed mutagenesis techniques are used to identify hybrid protein with coagulant activity that can be enhanced, equal to, or reduced, compared to human factor VIII, but preferably is enhanced. Specific human sequences are replaced with porcine εequences, preferably uεing the splicing by overlap extension method (SOE) , as described by Ho, S.N., et al . , 11 Gene 51-59 (1994), and in Examples 7 and 8. In another embodiment, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis can be used, as was done to loop out the amino acid sequence for part of the human A2 domain (see Example 7) . As functional analysis of the hybrids reveals coagulant activity, the sequence can be further dissected and mapped for procoagulant sequence by point mutation analysis, using standard site-directed mutagenesis techniques. Amino acid sequence substitutions in the A2 domain are described in Examples 7 and 8. Hybrid factor VIII molecules with reduced immunoreactivity. The approach described in the previous section for subεtitution of amino acidε in the factor VIII molecule can also be used to identify one or more critical region(s) in the A2, C2 , and/or other domainε to which inhibitory antibodieε are directed and to prepare an effective procoagulant hybrid molecule with no immunoreactivity or reduced immunoreactivity, as demonstrated in example 8, by replacement of one or more epitopes in the human factor VIII with corresponding porcine amino acid sequence. Usually, porcine factor VIII has limited or no reaction with inhibitory antibodieε. Over 90 percent of inhibitory antibodieε to human factor VIII are directed againεt either the A2 or C2 domainε or both. Hybrid human/porcine factor VIII moleculeε having decreased or no reactivity with inhibitory antibodies based on amino acid substitution in the A2 domain are prepared as follows. The porcine A2 domain is cloned by εtandard cloning techniqueε, as described above and in Examples 6, 7, and 8, and then cut and spliced within the A2 domain using routine procedures, such as using restriction siteε to cut the cDNA or εplicing by overlap extenεion (SOE) . The resulting constructs of known porcine amino acid sequence are substituted into the human A2 domain to form a hybrid factor VIII construct, which is inserted into a mammalian expresεion vector, preferably ReNeo, εtably tranεfected into cultured cells, preferably baby hamster kidney cells, and expressed, as described above. The hybrid factor VIII iε assayed for immunoreactivity, for example with anti-A2 antibodies by the routine Bethesda assay or by plasma-free chromogenic substrate asεay. The Betheεda unit (BU) iε the standard method for measuring inhibitor titers. If the Bethesda titer iε not meaεurable (<0.7 BU/mg IgG) in the hybrid, then a human A2 epitope waε eliminated in the region of εubstituted corresponding porcine sequence. The epitope is progresεively narrowed, and the εpecific A2 epitope can thus be determined to produce a hybrid human/porcine molecule with as little porcine εequence as possible. Hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecules having decreased or no reactivity with inhibitory antibodies based on substitution of amino acid sequence in the C2 or other domain, with or without substitution in the A2 domain, can be prepared. The procedures can be the same or similar to those described herein for amino acid εubεtitution in the A2 domain, including cloning the porcine C2 or other domain, for example by uεing RT-PCR or by probing a porcine liver cDNA library with human C2 or other domain DNA; restriction site techniques and/or successive SOE to map and simultaneously replace epitopes in the C2 or other domain; expression in cultured cellε; and routine aεεay for immunoreactivity. For the assays, antibodies specific to the C2 domain, such as the inhibitory autoantibody IgG deεcribed by Scandella, D. , et al . , Thromb. Haemostasis 67:665-671 (1992) and Lubin et al . (1994), are available, for example from Dr. Dorothea Scandella, American Red Cross, Rockville, MD. The C2 domain consistε of amino acid reεidues 2173-2332 (SEQ ID NO:2). Within this 154 amino acid region, inhibitor activity appears to be directed to a 65 amino acid region between residues 2248 and 2312, according to Shima, M. , et al . , 69 Thromb. Haemostas. 240-246 (1993). If the C2 sequence of human and porcine factor VIII is approximately 85 percent identical in this region, aε it iε elεewhere in the functionally active regions of factor VIII, there will be approximately ten differences between human and porcine factor VIII C2 amino acid sequence, which can be used as initial targets to construct hybrids with substituted C2 sequence. It is likely that clinically significant factor VIII epitopes are confined to the A2 and C2 domains. However, if antibodies to other regionε (Al, A3, B, or CI domainε) of factor VIII are identified, they can be mapped and eliminated by uεing hybrid human/porcine factor VIII moleculeε with the same approach. Preparation of hybrid factor VIII molecules using human and non-porcine mammalian factor VIII amino acid sequence. The methods used to prepare hybrid human/porcine factor VIII with subεtitution of specific amino acids can be uεed to prepare recombinant hybrid human/non-porcine mammalian factor VIII protein that haε, compared to human factor VIII, altered or the same coagulant activity and/or equal or reduced immunoreactivity, based on substitution of one or more amino acids in the A2, C2, and/or other domains. Similar comparisons of amino acid sequence identity can be- made between human and other non- porcine mammalian factor VIII proteins to determine the amino acid sequences in which procoagulant activity and anti-A2 and anti-C2 immunoreactivity or immunoreactivity in other domains reside. Similar methods can then be used to prepare other hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules. As described above, functional analysiε of each hybrid will reveal thoεe with decreaεed reactivity to inhibitory antibodies and/or increased coagulant activity, and the sequence can be further dissected by point mutation analysis. For example, hybrid human/mouse factor VIII molecules can be prepared as described above. The amino acid sequence alignment of the A2 domain of human (SEQ ID NO:2) and mouse (SEQ ID NO: 6) is shown in Figure 1A-1B. As reported by Elder et al . , the factor VIII protein encoded by the mouse cDNA (SEQ ID NO:5) has 2319 amino acids, with 74% sequence identity overall to the human sequence (SEQ ID NO:2) (87 percent identity when the B domain is excluded from the comparison) , and is 32 amino acids shorter than human factor VIII. The amino acid sequences in the mouse A and C domains (SEQ ID NO:6) are highly conserved, with 84-93 percent sequence identity to the human sequence (SEQ ID NO:2), while the B and the two short acidic domains have 42-70 percent sequence identity. Specifically, the Al, A2, and A3 mouse amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NO:6) are 85, 85, and 90 percent identical to the corresponding human amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NO:2). The CI and C2 mouse amino acid sequences are 93 and 84 percent identical to the corresponding human amino acid sequences. In the predicted mouse factor VIII amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:6), the Al, A2 r and A3 domains include amino acids 1-330, 380-711, and 1664-1987, respectively, using amino acid sequence identity for numbering purposes. The thrombin/factor Xa and all but one activated protein C cleavage sites are conserved in mouse factor VIII. The tyrosine residue for von Willebrand factor binding is alεo conεerved. According to Elder et al . , the nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO:5) of mouse factor VIII containε 7519 baεes and has 67 percent identity overall with the human nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO:l) . The 6957 base pairs of murine coding sequence have 82 percent sequence identity with the 7053 base pairs of coding sequence in human factor VIII. When the B domain is not included in the comparison, there is an 88 percent nucleotide εequence identity. Elder et al . report that human and mouεe factor VIII moleculeε are 74 percent identical overall, and that 95 percent of the human residueε that lead to hemophilia when altered are identical in the mouse. These data support the application of the same techniques used to identify amino acid sequence with coagulant activity and/or immunoreactivity to antibodies in the porcine factor VIII molecule to the mouse or other animal factor VIII to identify εimilar amino acid sequences and prepare hybrid molecules. In another embodiment, croεε-reactivity, in which human plaεma reactε with porcine factor VIII, can be reduced by preparation of hybrid porcine/animal factor VIII. Firεt, a determination of whether human A2 specific inhibitors react with factor VIII from other mammals is made, using the routine Bethesda asεay and the particular mammalian plasma as the εtandard. Inhibitor titerε are usually measured in plasma, so purified animal factor VIII is not neceεεary. If A2 inhibitorε do not react with the animal factor VIII, such as murine factor VIII, the εequence of which iε known, then corresponding animal sequence can be substituted into the porcine epitope region, as identified by using human/porcine hybrids. Once the animal sequence is known, site directed mutagenesis techniques, εuch aε oligonucleotide- mediated mutageneεis described by Kunkel, T.A. , et al . , 204 Meth. Enzymol. 125-139 (1991) , can be used to prepare the hybrid porcine/animal factor VIII molecule. If other animal plasmaε are less reactive with A2 inhibitors than murine or porcine factor VIII, the animal sequence corresponding to the porcine epitope can be determined by routine procedures, such as RT-PCR, and a hybrid human/animal or porcine/animal factor VIII constructed by site directed mutagenesis. Also, hybrid human/animal or porcine/non-porcine mammalian factor VIII can be prepared that has correεponding amino acid εequence εubεtitution from one or more other animalε. After identification of clinically εignificant epitopeε, recombinant hybrid factor VIII moleculeε will be expreεεed that have leεs than or equal cross-reactivity with human factor VIII when tested in vitro against a broad survey of inhibitor plasmas. Preferably these molecules will be combined A2/C2 hybrids in which immunoreactive amino acid sequence in these domains is replaced by porcine or other animal sequence. Additional mutagenesis in these regions may be done to reduce cross-reactivity. Reduced cross-reactivity, although desirable, is not necessary to produce a product that may have advantages over the existing porcine factor VIII concentrate, which produces side effects due to contaminant porcine proteins and may produce untoward effectε due to the immunogenicity of porcine factor VIII εequenceε. A hybrid human/animal or porcine/animal factor VIII molecule will not contain foreign porcine proteins. Additionally, the extensive epitope mapping accomplished in the porcine A2 domain indicates that greater than 95% of the therapeutic hybrid human/porcine factor VIII sequence will be human. Preparation of hybrid human/animal or porcine/animal factor VIII equivalents: The methods described above and in the examples can also be used to prepare procoagulant hybrid human/animal, non-porcine animal-l/animal-2 , or porcine/non-porcine mammalian factor VIII equivalent molecules. One or more specific amino acid residues in human or animal factor VIII or hybrid factor VIII that function as an antigenic site which iε immunoreactive with endogenous factor VIII inhibitory antibodies can be identified aε described, and then can be subεtituted with one or more εpecific amino acid residues that has no known identity to human or animal factor VIII εequence and that doeε not form an antigenic εite immunoreactive with endogenouε factor VIII inhibitory antibodieε. One or more antigenic sites can be substituted to form an active hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule. The resulting active hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule has equal or less reactivity with factor VIII inhibitory antibodies than the unsubstituted human or animal or hybrid human/animal factor VIII. Alternatively or additionally, active hybrid factor VIII equivalent moleculeε can be prepared, using the methods described above and in the examples, in which one or more specific amino acid residues in human or animal factor VIII or hybrid human/animal factor VIII that are critical to the coagulant activity can be identified as deεcribed, and then can be εubεtituted with one or more amino acid reεidues having no known identity to human or animal factor VIII sequence that also provides coagulant activity. One or more specific amino acidε that have coagulant activity can be replaced to form an active hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule. The reεulting procoagulant hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule haε coagulant activity that may be less than, equal to, or greater than that of the unsubstituted factor VIII molecule. Preferably, the hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule has coagulant activity that is superior to that of human factor VIII. Suitable specific amino acid residues that can be substituted for those sequences of amino acids critical to coagulant and/or antigenic activity in human or animal factor VIII or hybrid human/animal factor VIII include any specific amino acids not having sequence identity to animal or human factor VIII amino acid sequence that has coagulant activity and/or haε less or equal reactivity with endogenous inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII. Hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecules can have εubεtitutionε of one or more εpecific amino acid sequences for coagulant activity and/or one or more specific amino acid sequenceε for antigenic εites. Hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecules described herein also include those moleculeε in which amino acid reεidueε not critical to coagulant activity or antigenic activity are substituted with amino acid residueε having no known identity to animal factor VIII εequence. In one embodiment, a hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule, preferably a hybrid human/porcine molecule, can be prepared in which cross-reactivity with inhibitor plasmas is reduced as follows. One or more epitopes are identified, as described above, and then replaced by alanine residues, using, for example, the alanine scanning mutagenesiε method deεcribed by Cunningham, B.C., and J.A. Wellε, 244 Science 1081-1085 (1989). Since the human A2 epitope has been narrowed to 26 or fewer amino acids, as described in Example 8, alanine scanning mutagenesiε can be performed on a limited number of hybrid proteins to determine which are active, non-crosε-reactive hybrid factor VIII based on A2 amino acid substitutions. - Diagnostic Assays The hybrid human/animal or equivalent factor VIII cDNA and/or protein expresεed therefrom, in whole or in part, can be uεed in aεεayε as diagnostic reagents for the detection of inhibitory antibodies to human or animal factor VIII or to hybrid human/animal factor VIII in subεtrateε, including, for example, samples of serum and body fluids of human patients with factor VIII deficiency. These antibody asεayε include assays such as ELISA assays, immunoblots, radioimmunoaεεayε, immunodiffuεion aεsayε, and assay of factor VIII biological activity (e.g., by coagulation assay) . Techniques for preparing these reagents and methods for use thereof are known to thoεe skilled in the art. For example, an immunoassay for detection of inhibitory antibodies in a patient serum sample can include reacting the test sample with a sufficient amount of the hybrid human/animal factor VIII that contains at least one antigenic site, wherein the amount is sufficient to form a detectable complex with the inhibitory antibodies in the εample. Nucleic acid and amino acid probeε can be prepared baεed on the εequence of the hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecule. Theεe can be labeled uεing dyeε or enzymatic, fluoreεcent, chemiluminescent, or radioactive labels that are commercially available. The amino acid probes can be used, for example, to screen sera or other body fluids where the preεence of inhibitorε to human, animal, or hybrid human/animal factor VIII is suspected. Levels of inhibitorε can be quantitated in patientε and compared to healthy controls, and can be used, for example, to determine whether a patient with a factor VIII deficiency can be treated with a hybrid human/animal factor VIII. - Pharmaceutical Compositions Pharmaceutical compositions containing hybrid human/animal, porcine/non-porcine mammalian, animal- l/animal-2, or human/animal equivalent factor VIII, alone or in combination with appropriate pharmaceutical stabilization compounds, delivery vehicles, and/or carrier vehicles, are prepared according to known methods, as described in Remington'ε Pharmaceutical Sciences by E.W. Martin. In one preferred embodiment, the preferred carrierε or delivery vehicleε for intravenous infusion are physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline. In another preferred embodiment, suitable stabilization compounds, delivery vehicles, and carrier vehicles include but are not limited to other human or animal proteins such as albumin. Phoεpholipid vesicles or liposomal suspensions are also preferred as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or delivery vehicles. Theεe can be prepared according to methods known to those εkilled in the art and can contain, for example, phosphatidylserine/- phosphatidylcholine or other compositionε of phospholipids or detergentε that together impart a negative charge to the surface, since factor VIII binds to negatively charged phospholipid membranes. Liposomes may be prepared by dissolving appropriate lipid(s) (εuch aε stearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine, stearoyl phosphatidyl choline, arachadoyl phosphatidyl choline, and cholesterol) in an inorganic solvent that is then evaporated, leaving behind a thin film of dried lipid on the surface of the container. An aqueous solution of the hybrid factor VIII is then introduced into the container. The container is then swirled by hand to free lipid material from the sides of the container and to disperse lipid aggregates, thereby forming the liposomal suspension. The hybrid factor VIII can be combined with other suitable stabilization compounds, delivery vehicles, and/or carrier vehicles, including vitamin K dependent clotting factors, tisεue factor, and von Willebrand factor (vWf) or a fragment of vWf that containε the factor VIII binding site, and polysaccharides such as sucrose. Hybrid factor VIII can alεo be delivered by gene therapy in the εame way that human factor VIII can be delivered, using delivery means such as retroviral vectors. This method consiεts of incorporation of factor VIII cDNA into human cells that are transplanted directly into a factor VIII deficient patient or that are placed in an implantable device, permeable to the factor VIII molecules but impermeable to cells, that is then transplanted. The preferred method will be retroviral-mediated gene transfer. In this method, an exogenous gene (e.g., a factor VIII cDNA) is cloned into the genome of a modified retrovirus. The gene is inserted into the genome of the host cell by viral machinery where it will be expresεed by the cell. The retroviral vector iε modified so that it will not produce virus, preventing viral infection of the host. The general principles for this type of therapy are known to those skilled in the art and have been reviewed in the literature (e.g., Kohn, D.B., and P.W. Kantoff, 29 Transfusion 812-820, 1989). Hybrid factor VIII can be stored bound to vWf to increase the half-life and shelf-life of the hybrid molecule. Additionally, lyophilization of factor VIII can improve the yields of active molecules in the presence of ' vWf. Current methods for storage of human and animal factor VIII used by commercial suppliers can be employed for εtorage of hybrid factor VIII. Theεe methodε include: (1) lyophilization of factor VIII in a partially-purified εtate (as a factor VIII "concentrate" that is infused without further purification) ; (2) immunoaffinity-purification of factor VIII by the Zimmerman method and lyophilization in the presence of albumin, which stabilizeε the factor VIII; (3) lyophilization of recombinant factor VIII in the preεence of albumin. Additionally, hybrid factor VIII haε been indefinitely εtable at 4° C in 0.6 M NaCl, 20 mM MES, and 5 mM CaCl 2 at pH 6.0 and alεo can be εtored frozen in these buffers and thawed with minimal loss of activity. - Methods of Treatment Hybrid factor VIII is used to treat uncontrolled bleeding due to factor VIII deficiency (e.g., intraarticular, intracranial, or gaεtrointeεtinal hemorrhage) in hemophiliacε with and without inhibitory antibodies and in patients with acquired factor VIII deficiency due to the development of inhibitory antibodies. The active materials are preferably administered intravenously. Additionally, hybrid factor VIII can be administered by transplant of cells genetically engineered to produce the hybrid or by implantation of a device containing such cells, as described above. In a preferred embodiment, pharmaceutical compositions of hybrid factor VIII alone or in combination with stabilizers, delivery vehicles, and/or carriers are infused into patients intravenously according to the same procedure that is used for infusion of human or animal factor VIII. The treatment doεageε of hybrid factor VIII composition that must be administered to a patient in need of such treatment will vary depending on the severity of the factor VIII deficiency. Generally, dosage level is adjusted in frequency, duration, and units in keeping with the severity and duration of each patient's bleeding episode. Accordingly, the hybrid factor VIII is included in the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, delivery vehicle, or stabilizer in an amount sufficient to deliver to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of the hybrid to stop bleeding, as measured by standard clotting asεayε. Factor VIII iε claεεically defined aε that εubεtance preεent in normal blood plaεma that correctε the clotting defect in plaεma derived from individuals with hemophilia A. The coagulant activity in vitro of purified and partially-purified forms of factor VIII is used to calculate the dose of factor VIII for infusions in human patients and is a reliable indicator of activity recovered from patient plasma and of correction of the in vivo bleeding defect. There are no reported discrepancies between εtandard aεεay of novel factor VIII moleculeε in vitro and their behavior in the dog infuεion model or in human patientε, according to Luεher, J.M. , et al . , 328 New. Engl. J. Med. 453-459 (1993); Pittman, D.D., et al . , 79 Blood 389-397 (1992), and Brinkhouε et al . , 82 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 8752-8755 (1985). Usually, the desired plasma factor VIII level to be achieved in the patient through administration of the hybrid factor VIII is in the range of 30-100% of normal. In a preferred mode of adminiεtration of the hybrid factor VIII, the composition is given intravenously at a preferred dosage in the range from about 20 to 50 unitε/kg body weight; the interval frequency iε in the range from about 8 to 24 hours (in severely affected hemophiliacs) ; and the duration of treatment in days is in the range from 1 to 10 days or until the bleeding episode is resolved. See, e . g . , Roberts, H.R. , and M.R. Jones, "Hemophilia and Related Conditions - Congenital Deficiencies of Prothrombin (Factor II, Factor V, and Factors VII to XII)," Ch. 153, 1453-1474, 1460, in Hematology. Williamε, W. J. , et al . , ed. (1990). Patientε with inhibitors may require more hybrid factor VIII, or patients may require less hybrid factor VIII because of its higher specific activity than human factor VIII or decreased antibody reactivity. As in treatment with human or porcine factor VIII, the amount of hybrid factor VIII infused is defined by the one-stage factor VIII coagulation assay and, in selected instances, in vivo recovery is determined by measuring the factor VIII in the patient'ε plasma after infusion. It iε to be underεtood that for any particular εubject, εpecific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the profesεional judgment of the person administering or superviεing the administration of the compositions, and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition. Treatment can take the form of a single intravenous administration of the composition or periodic or continuouε adminiεtration over an extended period of time, aε required. Alternatively, hybrid factor VIII can be administered subcutaneouεly or orally with liposomes in one or several doses at varying intervals of time. Hybrid factor VIII can also be used to treat uncontrolled bleeding due to factor VIII deficiency in hemophiliacs who have developed antibodieε to human factor VIII. In this case, coagulant activity that is superior to that of human or animal factor VIII alone is not necessary. Coagulant activity that is inferior to that of human factor VIII (i.e., lesε than 3,000 unitε/mg) will be uεeful if that activity is not neutralized by antibodies in the patient's plasma. The hybrid factor VIII molecule and the methods for isolation, characterization, making, and using it generally described above will be further understood with reference to the following non-limiting examples. Example 1 : Aεεay of porcine factor VIII and hybrid human/porcine factor VIII Porcine factor VIII has more coagulant activity than human factor VIII, based on specific activity of the molecule. These results are shown in Table III in Example 4. This conclusion is based on the use of appropriate standard curves that allow human and porcine factor VIII to be fairly compared. Coagulation asεays are based on the ability of factor VIII to shorten the clotting time of plasma derived from a patient with hemophilia A. Two types of asεays were employed: the one-stage and the two-stage aεsay. In the one-stage assay, 0.1 ml hemophilia A plasma (George King Biomedical, Inc.) was incubated with 0.1 ml activated partial thromboplastin reagent (APTT) (Organon Teknika) and 0.01 ml εample or standard, consisting of diluted, citrated normal human plasma, for 5 min at 37°C in a water bath. Incubation was followed by addition of 0.1 ml 20 mM CaCl 2 , and the time for development of a fibrin clot was determined by visual inspection. A unit of factor VIII is defined as the amount present in 1 ml of citrated normal human plasma. With human plasma as the standard, porcine and human factor VIII activity were compared directly. Dilutions of the plasma standard or purified proteins were made into 0.15 M NaCl, 0.02 M HEPES, pH 7.4. The standard curve waε constructed based on 3 or 4 dilutions of plasma, the highest dilution being 1/50, and on log 10 clotting time plotted against log 10 plasma concentration, which resultε in a linear plot. The unitε of factor VIII in an unknown εample were determined by interpolation from the standard curve. The one-stage asεay relies on endogenous activation of factor VIII by activators formed in the hemophilia A plasma, whereas the two-εtage aεεay meaεureε the procoagulant activity of preactivated factor VIII. In the two-stage aεεay, εampleε containing factor VIII that had been reacted with thrombin were added to a mixture of activated partial thromboplaεtin and human hemophilia A plaεma that had been preincubated for 5 min at 37°C. The resulting clotting times were then converted to units/ml, baεed on the same human standard curve described above. The relative activity in the two-stage aεεay waε higher than in the one-stage asεay because the factor VIII had been preactivated. Example 2 : Characterization of the functional difference between human and porcine factor VIII . The isolation of porcine and human plasma-derived factor VIII and human recombinant factor VIII have been described in the literature in Fulcher, C. A., and T. S. Zimmerman, 79 Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1648-1652 (1982); Toole, J.J., et al . , 312 Nature 342- 347 (1984) (Genetics Institute); Gitschier, J. , et al . , 312 Nature 326-330 (1984) (Genentech); Wood, W.I., et al . , 312 Nature 330-337 (1984) (Genentech); Vehar, G.A. , et al . , 312 Nature 337-342 (1984) (Genentech); Fass, D.N. , et al . , 59 Blood 594 (1982); Toole, J.J., et al . , 83 Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 5939-5942 (1986) . Thiε can be accomplished in several ways. All these preparations are similar in subunit composition, although this is the first description of the functional difference between human and porcine factor VIII, not noted previously in part due to the lack of uεe of a common standard by which to compare them. For comparison of human recombinant and porcine factor VIII, preparations of highly-purified human recombinant factor VIII (Cutter Laboratories, Berkeley, CA) and porcine factor VIII (im unopurified as described in Fasε, D.N., et al . , 59 Blood 594 (1982)) were εubjected to high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) over a Mono Q™ (Pharmacia-LKB, Piscataway, NJ) anion-exchange column (Pharmacia, Inc. ) . The purpoεes of the Mono Q™ HPLC step were elimination of minor impurities and exchange of human and porcine factor VIII into a common buffer for comparative purposeε. Vialε containing 1000-2000 unitε of factor VIII were reconεtituted with 5 ml H 2 0. Hepeε (2 M at pH 7.4) waε then added to a final concentration of 0.02 M. Factor VIII waε applied to a Mono Q™ HR 5/5 column equilibrated in 0.15 M NaCl, 0.02 M Hepes, 5 mM CaCl 2 , at pH 7.4 (Buffer A plus 0.15 M NaCl); waεhed with 10 ml Buffer A + 0.15 M NaCl; and eluted with a 20 ml linear gradient, 0.15 M to 0.90 M NaCl in Buffer A at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. For compariεon of human factor VIII (derived from plasma and purified by Mono Q™ HPLC) and porcine factor VIII, immunoaffinity-purified, plasma-derived porcine factor VIII waε diluted 1:4 with 0.04 M Hepes, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01% Tween-80, at pH 7.4, and subjected to Mono Q™ HPLC under the same conditions described in the previous paragraph for human factor VIII. These procedures for the isolation of human and porcine factor VIII are standard for those εkilled in the art. Column fractions were asεayed for factor VIII activity by a one-εtage coagulation aεεay. The average reεults of the aεεays, expresεed in unitε of activity per A 2g0 of material, are given in Table II, and indicate that porcine factor VIII haε at leaεt six times greater activity than human factor VIII when the one-stage assay is used. TABLE II: COMPARISON OF HUMAN AND PORCINE FACTOR VIII COAGULANT ACTIVITY Activity (U/A 280 ) Porcine 21,300 Human plasma-derived 3,600 Human recombinant 2,400 Example 3 : Compariεon of the εtability of human and porcine factor VIII The results of the one-stage asεay for factor VIII reflect activation of factor VIII to factor Villa in the sample and posεibly loεε of formed factor Villa activity. A direct compariεon of the stability of human and porcine factor VIII was made. Samples from Mono Q™ HPLC (Pharmacia, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.) were diluted to the same concentration and buffer composition and reacted with thrombin. At various timeε, samples were removed for two-stage coagulation assay. Typically, peak activity (at 2 min) was 10- fold greater for porcine than human factor Villa, and the activities of both porcine and human factor Villa subsequently decreased, with human factor Villa activity decreasing more rapidly. Generally, attempts to isolate stable human factor Villa are not successful even when conditions that produce stable porcine factor Villa are used. To demonstrate this. Mono Q™ HPLC-purified human factor VIII was activated with thrombin and subjected to Mono S™ cation-exchange (Pharmacia, Inc.) HPLC under conditionε that produce εtable porcine factor Villa, aε deεcribed by Lollar, J.S., and CG. Parker, 28 Bioche iεtry 666 (1989) . Human factor VIII, 43 μg/ml (0.2 μM) in 0.2 M NaCl, 0.01 M Hepes, 2.5 mM CaCl 2 , at pH 7.4, in 10 ml total volume, was reacted with thrombin (0.036 μM) for 10 min, at which time FPR-CH 2 C1 D-phenyl-prolyl- arginyl-chloromethyl ketone was added to a concentration of 0.2 μM for irreversible inactivation of thrombin. The mixture then was diluted 1:1 with 40 mM 2-(N-morpholino)ethane sulfonic acid (MES) , 5 mM CaCl 2 , at pH 6.0, and loaded at 2 ml/min onto a Mono S™ HR 5/5 HPLC column (Pharmacia, Inc.) equilibrated in 5 mM MES, 5 mM CaCl 2 , at pH 6.0 (Buffer B) plus 0.1 M NaCl. Factor Villa was eluted without column washing with a 20 ml gradient from 0.1 M NaCl to 0.9 M NaCl in Buffer B at 1 ml/min. The fraction with coagulant activity in the two- stage assay eluted as a single peak under these conditions. The specific activity of the peak fraction was approximately 7,500 U/A 280 . Sodium dodecyl εulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoreεis (SDS-PAGE) of the Mono S™ factor Villa peak, followed by silver staining of the protein, revealed two bands corresponding to a heterodimeric (A3-C1-C2/A1) derivative of factor VIII. Although the A2 fragment was not identified by silver staining under these conditions because of its low concentration, it was identified as a trace constituent by 15 I-labeling. In contraεt to the reεultε with human factor VIII, porcine factor Villa isolated by Mono S™ HPLC under the same conditions had a specific activity 1.6 x 10 6 U/A 2g0 . Analysis of porcine factor Villa by SDS- PAGE revealed 3 fragmentε corresponding to Al, A2, and A3-C1-C2 subunits, demonstrating that porcine factor Villa possesses three subunits. The results of Mono S™ HPLC of human thrombin- activated factor VIII preparations at pH 6.0 indicate that human factor Villa is labile under conditions that yield stable porcine factor Villa. However, although trace amounts of A2 fragment were identified in the peak fraction, determination of whether the coagulant activity reεulted from εmall amountε of heterotrimeric factor Villa or from heterodimeric factor Villa that haε a low εpecific activity was not possible from this method alone. A way to isolate human factor Villa before it loses its A2 εubunit is desirable to resolve this question. To this end, isolation was accompliεhed in a procedure that involveε reduction of the pH of the Mono S™ buffers to pH 5. Mono Q™-purified human factor VIII (0.5 mg) was diluted with H 2 0 to give a final composition of 0.25 mg/ml (1 μM) factor VIII in 0.25 M NaCl, 0.01 M Hepes, 2.5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.005% Tween- 80, at pH 7.4 (total volume 7.0 ml) . Thrombin was added to a final concentration of 0.072 μM and allowed to react for 3 min. Thrombin was then inactivated with FPR-CH 2 C1 (0.2 μM) . The mixture then waε diluted 1:1 with 40 mM sodium acetate, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01% Tween-80, at pH 5.0, and loaded at 2 ml/min onto a Mono S™ HR 5/5 HPLC column equilibrated in 0.01 M sodium acetate, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01% Tween-80, at pH 5.0, plus 0.1 M NaCl. Factor Villa was eluted without column washing with a 20 ml gradient from 0.1 M NaCl to 1.0 M NaCl in the same buffer at 1 ml/min. This resulted in recovery of coagulant activity in a peak that contained detectable amounts of the A2 fragment as shown by SDS-PAGE and silver staining. The specific activity of the peak fraction was ten-fold greater than that recovered at pH 6.0 (75,000 U/A 280 vε. 7,500 U/A 280 ) . However, in contraεt to porcine factor Villa iεolated at pH 6.0, which iε indefinitely stable at 4°C, human factor Villa activity decreased steadily over a period of several hourε after elution from Mono S™. Additionally, the εpecific activity of factor Villa purified at pH 5.0 and aεεayed immediately iε only 5% that of porcine factor Villa, indicating that εubεtantial dissociation occurred prior to asεay. These resultε demonεtrate that both human and porcine factor Villa are composed of three subunits (Al, A2, and A3-C1-C2) . Disεociation of the A2 subunit is responsible for the loss of activity of both human and porcine factor Villa under certain conditions, such as physiological ionic strength, pH, and concentration. The relative stability of porcine factor Villa under certain conditions is because of stronger asεociation of the A2 εubunit. Example 4 : Preparation of hybrid human/ porcine factor VIII by reconstitution with εubunit ε . Porcine factor VIII light chains and factor VIII heavy chains were iεolated aε follows. A 0.5 M solution of EDTA at pH 7.4 was added to Mono Q™- purified porcine factor VIII to a final concentration of 0.05 M and was allowed to εtand at room temperature for 18-24 h. An equal volume of 10 mM histidine-Cl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.02% v/v Tween 80, at pH 6.0 (Buffer B) , was added, and the solution was applied at 1 ml/min to a Mono S™ HR 5/5 column previously equilibrated in Buffer A plus 0.25 M NaCl. Factor VIII heavy chains did not bind the resin, as judged by SDS-PAGE. Factor VIII light chain was eluted with a linear, 20 ml, 0.1- 0.7 M NaCl gradient in Buffer A at 1 ml/min and was homogeneous by SDS-PAGE. Factor VIII heavy chains were isolated by mono Q™ HPLC (Pharmacia, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.) in the following way. Factor VIII heavy chains do not adsorb to mono S™ during the purification of factor VIII light chains. The fall- through material that contained factor VIII heavy chains was adjusted to pH 7.2 by addition of 0.5 M Hepes buffer, pH 7.4, and applied to a mono Q™ HR5/5 HPLC column (Pharmacia, Inc.) equilibrated in 0.1 M NaCl, 0.02 M Hepes, 0.01% Tween-80, pH 7.4. The column was washed with 10 ml of this buffer, and factor VIII heavy chains were eluted with a 20 ml 0.1- 1.0 M NaCl gradient in this buffer. Human light chains and heavy chains were isolated in the same manner. Human and porcine light and heavy chains were reconstituted according to the following steps. Ten μl human or porcine factor VIII light chain, 100 μg/ml, was mixed in 1 M NaCl, 0.02 M Hepes, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01% Tween-80, pH 7.4, with (1) 25 μl heterologous heavy chain, 60 μg/ml, in the same buffer; (2) 10 μl 0.02 M Hepes, 0.01% Tween-80, pH 7.4; (3) 5 μl 0.6 M CaCl 2 , for 14 hr at room temperature. The mixture was diluted 1/4 with 0.02 M MES, 0.01% Tween-80, 5 mM CaCl 2 , pH 6, and applied to Mono S™ Hr5/5 equilibrated in 0.1 M NaCl, 0.02 M MES, 0.01% Tween-80, 5mM CaCl 2 , pH 6.0. A 20 ml gradient was run from 0.1 - 1.0 M NaCl in the same buffer at 1 ml/min, and 0.5 ml fractions were collected. Absorbance was read at 280 n of fractions, and fractions were assayed with absorbance for factor VIII activity by the one-stage clotting assay. Heavy chains were present in excess, because free light chain (not asεociated with heavy chain) also binds Mono S™; exceεε heavy chainε enεure that free light chains are not part of the preparation. Reconstitution experiments followed by Mono S™ HPLC purification were performed with all four posεible combinationε of chainε: human light chain/human heavy chain, human light chain/porcine heavy chain, porcine light chain/porcine heavy chain, porcine light chain/human heavy chain. Table III εhows that human light chain/porcine heavy chain factor VIII haε activity comparable to native porcine factor VIII (Table II) , indicating that structural elements in the porcine heavy chain are responsible for the increased coagulant activity of porcine factor VIII compared to human factor VIII. TABLE III: COMPARISON OF HYBRID HUMAN/PORCINE FACTOR VIII COAGULANT ACTIVITY WITH HUMAN AND PORCINE FACTOR VIII Activity (U/A 280 ) Porcine light chain/porcine heavy chain 30,600 Human light chain/porcine heavy chain 44,100 Porcine light chain/human heavy chain 1,100 Human light chain/human heavy chain 1,000 Example 5: Preparation of active hybrid human/ porcine factor VIII by reconεtitution with domainε . The porcine A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer, the porcine A2 domain, the human A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer, and the human A2 domain were each iεolated from porcine or human blood, according to the method deεcribed in Lollar, P., et al . , 267(33) J. Biol. Chem. 23652-23657 (Nov. 25, 1992) . For example, to isolate the porcine A1/A3-C1- C2 dimer, porcine factor Villa (140 μg) at pH 6.0 was raiεed to pH 8.0 by addition of 5 N NaOH for 30 minuteε, producing diεsociation of the A2 domain and 95 percent inactivation by clotting asεay. The mixture was diluted 1:8 with buffer B (20 mM HEPES, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01 % Tween 80, pH 7.4) and applied to a monoS column equilibrated in buffer B. The A1/A3-C1- C2 dimer eluted as a single sharp peak at approximately 0.4 M NaCl by using a 0.1-1.0 M NaCl gradient in buffer B. To isolate the porcine A2 domain, porcine factor Villa waε made according to the method of Lollar, P., and CG. Parker, 28 Biochem. 666-674 (1989), εtarting with 0.64 mg of factor VIII. Free porcine A2 domain waε iεolated aε a minor component (50 μg) at 0.3 M NaCl in the monoS™ chromatogram. Hybrid human/porcine factor VIII moleculeε were reconεtituted from the dimerε and domainε as follows. The concentrations and buffer conditionε for the purified components were as follows: porcine A2 , 0.63 μM in buffer A (5 mM MES; 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01% Tween 80, pH 6.0) plus 0.3 M NaCl; porcine A1/A3-C1-C2. 0.27 μM in buffer B plus 0.4 M NaCl, pH 7.4; human A2. 1 μM in 0.3 M NaCl, 10 mM histidine-HCl, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01 % Tween 20, pH 6.0; human A1/A3-C1-C2. 0.18 μM in 0.5 M NaCl, 10 mM histidine-Cl, -2.5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.1 % Tween 20, pH 6.0. Reconstitution experiments were done by mixing equal volumes of A2 domain and A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer. In mixing experiments with porcine A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer, the pH was lowered to 6.0 by addition of 0.5 M MES, pH 6.0, to 70 mM. The coagulation activitieε of all four poεεible hybrid factor Villa moleculeε - [pA2/ (hAl/A3-Cl-C2) ] , [hA2/ (pAl/A3-Cl-C2) ] , [pA2/ (pAl/pA3-Cl-C2) ] , and [hA2/ (hAl/A3-Cl-C2) ] - were obtained by a two-stage clotting asεay at various times. The generation of activity following mixing the A2 domains and A1/A3-C1-C2 dimers was nearly complete by one hour and was stable for at leaεt 24 hours at 37°C. Table IV shows the activity of reconstituted hybrid factor Villa molecules when assayed at 1 hour. The two-stage assay, by which the εpecific activitieε of factor Villa moleculeε were obtained, differε from the one-εtage aεsay, and the values cannot be compared to activity values of factor VIII molecules obtained by a one-stage asεay. TABLE IV: COMPARISON OF COAGULANT ACTIVITIES OF DOMAIN-SUBSTITUTED HYBRID HUMAN/PORCINE FACTOR Villa Hybrid fVIIIa Specific Activity (U/mcr) Porcine A2 + Human 140,000 A1/A3-C1-C2 Porcine A2 + Porcine 70,000 A1/A3-C1-C2 Human A2 + Porcine 40,000 A1/A3-C1-C2 Human A2 + Human 40,000 A1/A3-C1-C2 Table IV shows that the greatest activity was exhibited by the porcine A2 domain/human A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer, followed by the porcine A2 domain/porcine A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer. Thus, when the A2 domain of porcine factor Villa was mixed with the A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer of human factor Villa, coagulant activity was obtained. Further, when the A2 domain of human factor Villa was mixed with the A1/A3-C1-C2 dimer of porcine factor Villa, coagulant activity was obtained. By themselves, the A2, Al, and A3-C1-C2 regions have no coagulant activity. Example 6: Isolation and sequencing of the A2 domain of porcine factor VIII . Only the nucleotide sequence encoding the B domain and part of the A2 domain of porcine factor VIII has been sequenced previously (Toole, J.J., et al . , 83 Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 5939-5942 (1986)). The cDNA and predicted amino acid sequenceε (SEQ ID N0ε:5 and 6, respectively) for the entire porcine factor VIII A2 domain are disclosed herein. The porcine factor VIII A2 domain was cloned by reverse transcription of porcine spleen total RNA and PCR amplification; degenerate primers based on the known human factor VIII cDNA sequence and an exact porcine primer based on a part of the porcine factor VIII sequence were used. A 1 kb PCR product was isolated and amplified by insertion into a Bluescript ™ (Stratagene) phagemid vector. The porcine A2 domain was completely sequenced by dideoxy sequencing. The cDNA and predicted amino acid sequences are as described in SEQ ID NOs:5 and 6, respectively. Example 7: Preparation of recombinant hybrid human/animal factor VIII The nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOs:l and 2 , respectively) of human factor VIII have been described in the literature (Toole, J.J., et al . , 312 Nature 342-347 (1984) (Genetics Institute); Gitschier, J. , et al . , 312 Nature 326-330 (1984) (Genentech); Wood, W.I., et al . , 312 Nature 330-337 (1984) (Genentech); Vehar, G.A. , et al . , 312 Nature 337-342 (1984) (Genentech)). Making recombinant hybrid human/animal factor VIII requires that a region of human factor VIII cDNA (Biogen Corp.) be removed and the animal cDNA sequence having sequence identity be inserted. Subsequently, the hybrid cDNA is expresεed in an appropriate expreεsion system. As an example, hybrid factor VIII cDNAs were cloned in which some or all of the porcine A2 domain was substituted for the corresponding human A2 sequenceε. Initially, the entire cDNA sequence corresponding to the A2 domain of human factor VIII and then a smaller part of the A2 domain was looped out by oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesiε, a method commonly known to those skilled in the art (see, e . g. , Sambrook, J. , E.F. Fritsch, and T. Maniatis, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual. Chapter 15, Cold Spring Harbor Preεε, Cold Spring Harbor, 1989) . The εtepε were aε follows. Materialε . Methoxycarbonyl-D-cyclohexylglycyl-glycl- arginine-p-nitroanilide (Spectrozyme™ Xa) and anti- factor VIII monoclonal antibodies ESH4 and ESH8 were purchased from American Diagnostica (Greenwich, CT) . Unilamellar phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylεerine (75/25, w/w) vesicles were prepared according to the method of Barenholtz, Y., et al . , 16 Biochemistry 2806-2810 (1977) . Recombinant deεulfatohirudin was obtained from Dr. R. B. Wallis, Ciba-Geigy Pharmaceuticals (Cerritos, CA) . Porcine factors IXa, X, Xa, and thrombin were isolated according to the methods of Lollar, P., et al . , 63 Blood 1303-1306 (1984), and Duffy, E.J. , and P. Lollar, 207 J. Biol. Chem. 7621-7827 (1992) . Albumin-free pure recombinant human factor VIII was obtained from Baxter-Biotech (Deerfield, IL) . Cloning of the porcine factor VIII A2 domain . The cDNA encoding the porcine A2 domain was obtained following PCR of reverse-transcribed porcine spleen mRNA iεolated aε deεcribed by Chomczyneki, P., and Sacohi, N. , 162 Anal. Biochem. 156-159 (1987). cDNA waε prepared using the firεt-εtrand cDNA synthesiε kit with random hexamerε aε primerε (Pharmacia, Piscataway, N.J.) . PCR was carried out using a 5'-terminal degenerate primer 5' AARCAYCCNAARACNTGGG 3' (SEQ ID NO:11), based on known limited porcine A2 amino acid sequence, and a 3'- terminal exact primer, 5' GCTCGCACTAGGGGGTCTTGAATTC 3' (SEQ ID N0:12), based on known porcine DNA εequence immediately 3' of the porcine A2 domain. Theεe oligonucleotideε correεpond to nucleotideε 1186-1203 and 2289-2313 in the human εequence (SEQ ID N0:1). Amplification waε carried out for 35 cycleε (1 minute 94°C, 2 minutes 50°C, 2 minutes 72°C) using Taq DNA polymerase (Promega Corp., Madison, WI) . The 1.1- kilobase amplified fragment was cloned into pBluescript II KS-(Stratagene) at the EcoRV site using the T-vector procedure, as described by Murchuk, D., et al . , 19 Nucl. Acids Res. 1154 (1991) . Eεcherichia coli XLl-Blue-co petent cella were transformed, and plasmid DNA was isolated. Sequencing was carried out in both directions using Sequenase™ verεion 2.0 (U.S. Biochemical Corp. , a Division of Amersham LifeScience, Inc. , Arlington Hts, IL) . This sequence was confirmed by an identical εequence that was obtained by direct sequencing of the PCR product from an independent reverse transcription of spleen RNA from the same pig (Circumvent™, New England Biolabε, Beverly, MA) . The region containing the epitope for autoantibody RC was identified as 373-536 in human factor VIII (SEQ ID NO:2). Construction and expression of a hybrid human/ porcine factor VIII cDNA . B-domainlesε human factor VIII (HB-, from Biogen, Inc. Cambridge, MA) , which lacks sequences encoding for amino acid residueε 741-1648 (SEQ ID N0:2), was used as the starting material for construction of a hybrid human/porcine factor VIII. HB- was cloned into the expression vector ReNeo. To facilitate manipulation, the cDNA for factor VIII was isolated as a Xhol/Hpal fragment from ReNeo " and cloned into Xhol/EcoRV digested pBlueSεript II KS " . An oligonucleotide, 5' CCTTCCTTTATCCAAATACGTAGATCAAGAGGAAATTGAC 3' (SEQ ID NO:7), waε uεed in a site-directed mutagenesis reaction using uracil-containing phage DNA, aε described by Kunkel, T.A. , et al . , 204 Meth. Enzymol. 125-139 (1991) , to εimultaneouεly loop-out the human A2 sequence (nucleotides 1169-2304 in SEQ ID NO:l) and introduce a SnaBI restriction site. The A2-domainless human factor VIII containing plasmid was digested with SnaBI followed by addition of Clal linkers. The porcine A2 domain was then amplified by PCR using the phosphorylated 5' primer 5' GTAGCGTTGCCAAGAAGCACCCTAAGACG 3 ' (SEQ ID NO:8) and 3' primer 5' GAAGAGTAGTACGAGTTATTTCTCTGGGTTCAATGAC 3' (SEQ ID N0:9), respectively. Clal linkers were added to the PCR product followed by ligation into the human factor VHI-containing vector. The A1/A2 and A2/A3 junctions were corrected to restore the precise thrombin cleavage and flanking sequences by site- directed mutagenesiε using the oligonucleotide shown in SEQ ID NO:8 and nucleotides 1-22 (5' GAA . . . TTC in SEQ ID NO:9) to correct the 5'- and 3'-terminal junctions, respectively. In the resulting construct, designated HP1, the human A2 domain was exactly substituted with the porcine A2 domain. A preliminary product contained an unwanted thymine at the A1-A2 junction as a result of the PCR amplification of the porcine A2 domain. This single base can be looped out by use of the mutagenic oligonucleotide 5' CCTTTATCCAAATACGTAGCGTTTGCCAAGAAG 3' (SEQ ID NO: 10) . A region containing 63% of the porcine NH 2 - terminal A2 domain, which encompasses the putative A2 epitope, was substituted for the homologous human sequence of B-domainless cDNA by exchanging Spel/BamKI fragments between the pBluescript plasmids containing human factor VIII and human/porcine A2 factor VIII cDNA. The sequence was confirmed by sequencing the A2 domain and splice sites. Finally, a Spel/Apal fragment, containing the entire A2 sequence, waε substituted in place of the corresponding sequence in HB-, producing the HP2 construct. Preliminary expresεion of HB " and HP2 in COS-7 cells was tested after DEAE-dextran-mediated DNA transfection, as described by Seldon, R.F., in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel, F.M. , et al , eds) , pp. 9.21-9.26, Wiley Interscience, N.Y. After active factor VIII expreεεion was confirmed and preliminary antibody inhibition studieε were done, HB- and HP2 DNA were then stably transfected into baby hamster kidney cells using liposome-mediated transfection (Lipofectin®, Life Technologies, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) . Plasmid-containing cloneε were selected for G418 resistance in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium-F12, 10% fetal calf serum (DMEM-F12/10% fetal calf serum) containing 400 μg/ml G418, followed by maintenance in DMEM-F12/10% fetal calf serum containing 100 μg/ml G418. Colonies εhowing maximum expression of HB- and HP2 factor VIII activity were selected by ring cloning and expanded for further characterization. HB- and HP2 factor VIII expreεεion was compared by plasma-free factor VIII assay, one-stage clotting asεay, and enzyme-linked immunoεorbent aεεay uεing purified recombinant human factor VIII aε a εtandard. Specific coagulant activitieε of 2600 and 2580 units/mg were obtained for HB- and HP2, respectively. HB- and HP2 produced 1.2 and 1.4 units/ml/48 hourε/10 7 cellε, reεpectively. This iε identical to that of the wild type conεtruct (2,600 ± 200 unitε/mg) . The specific activities of HB- and HP2 were indiεtinguiεhable in the plaεma-free factor VIII aεsay. Construction and expreεεion of hybrid human/non- porcine mammalian factor VIII. Cloning of other animal Al, A3, CI, and C2 domainε and part domainε is feasible with the same strategy that was uεed for cloning the porcine A2 domain. Fragmentε of these domains can be cloned by the looping out mutagenesiε technique. Exciεion of the correεponding domainε in human factor VIII and any fragmentε thereof, including single amino acid eliminations, is feasible by looping out mutagenesis as described above. All poεεible domain replacements, fragments of domain replacements, or εingle amino acid reεidue replacementε are possible by this approach. The biological activity of recombinant hybrid human/animal factor VIII with Al, A2, A3, CI, and/or C2 domain substitutions can be evaluated initially by use of a COS-cell mammalian transient expression system. Hybrid human/animal cDNA can be transfected into COS cells, and supematants can be analyzed for factor VIII activity by use of one-stage and two-stage coagulation assayε aε deεcribed above. Additionally, factor VIII activity can be measured by use of a chromogenic substrate aεεay, which iε more sensitive and allows analysis of larger numbers of εampleε. Similar assays are standard in the assay of factor VIII activity (Wood, W.I., et al. , 312 Nature 330-337, 1984; Toole, J.J. , et al . , 312 Nature 342-347, 1984). Expression of recombinant factor VIII in COS cells is also a standard procedure (Toole, J.J., et al . , 312 Nature 342-347, 1984; Pittman, D.D., and R.J. Kaufman, 85 Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2429-2433, 1988). The human factor VIII cDNA used aε εtarting material for the recombinant molecules described herein haε been expreεεed in COS cellε yielding a product with biological activity. Thiε material, as described above, can be used as a εtandard to compare hybrid human/animal factor VIII molecules. The activity in the assays is converted to a specific activity for proper comparison of the hybrid molecules. For thiε, a measurement of the masε of factor VIII produced by the cells is necessary and can be done by immunoasεay with purified human and/or animal factor VIII aε εtandardε. Immunoassayε for factor VIII are routine for thoεe skilled in the art (See, e.g., Lollar, P., et al . , 71 Blood 137-143, 1988). Example 8. Determination of inhibitory activity in hybrid human/ animal factor VIII. Sequences of human and animal factor VIII likely to be involved as epitopes (i.e., as recognition siteε for inhibitory antibodieε that react with factor VIII) can be determined uεing routine procedures, for example through use of assay with antibodies to factor VIII combined with site directed mutagenesis techniques such as splicing by overlap extension methods (SOE) , as shown below. Sequences of animal factor VIII that are not antigenic compared to corresponding antigenic human εequences can be identified, and substitutions can be made to insert animal sequenceε and delete human εequences according to standard recombinant DNA methods. Porcine factor VIII reacts less than human factor VIII with some inhibitory antibodies; this provides a basis for current therapy for patients with inhibitors. After the recombinant hybrids are made, they can be tested in vitro for reactivity with routine assayε, including the Betheεda inhibitor assay. Those constructε that are less reactive than native human factor VIII and native animal factor VIII are candidates for replacement therapy. The epitopes to which most, if not all, inhibitory antibodies reactive with human factor VIII are directed are thought to reside in two regions in the 2332 amino acid human factor VIII molecule, the A2 domain (amino acid residueε 373-740) and the C2 domain (amino acid residues 2173-2332, both sequenceε shown in SEQ ID NO:2). The A2 epitope has been eliminated by making a recombinant hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecule in which part of the human A2 domain is replaced by the porcine εequence having sequence identity to the replaced human amino acid sequence. This was accomplished, as described in Example 7, by cloning the porcine A2 domain by standard molecular biology techniques and then cutting and splicing within the A2 domain using restriction sites. In the resulting construct, designated HP2, residues 373-603 (SEQ ID NO:4) of porcine factor VIII were subεtituted into the human A2 domain. HP2 was asεayed for immunoreactivity with anti-human factor VIII antibodieε using the following methods. Factor VIII enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay . Microtiter plate wells were coated with 0.15 ml of 6 μg/ml ESH4, a human factor VIII light-chain antibody, and incubated overnight. After the plate was washed three times with H 2 0, the wells were blocked for 1 hour with 0.15 M NaCl, 10 mM sodium phoεphate, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.05% nonfat dry milk, 0.05% sodium azide, pH 7.4. To increase εenεitivity, εampleε containing factor VIII were activated with 30 nM thrombin for 15 minutes. Recombinant desulfatohirudin then waε added at 100 nM to inhibit thrombin. The plate waε waεhed again and 0.1 ml of sample or pure recombinant human factor VIII (10-600 ng/ml) , used as the standard, were added. Following a 2 hour incubation, the plate was waεhed and 0.1 ml of biotinylated ESH8, another factor VIII light-chain antibody, waε added to each well. ESH8 was biotinylated using the Pierce sulfosuccinimidyl-6- (biotinamide)hexanoate biotinylation kit. After a 1 hour incubation, the plate was washed and 0.1 ml of strepavidin alkaline phoεphataεe waε added to each well. The plate waε developed uεing the Bio-Rad alkaline phoεphatase substrate reagent kit, and the resulting absorbance at 405 nm for each well was determined by using a Vmax microtiter plate reader (Molecular Devices, Inc., Sunnyville, CA) . Unknown factor VIII concentrations were determined from the linear portion of the factor VIII standard curve. Factor VIII assays . HB- and HB2 factor VIII were measured in a one- stage clotting assay, which was performed as described above (Bowie, E.J.W., and CA. Owen, in Disorderε of Hemoεtaεiε (Ratnoff and Forbes, eds) pp. 43-72, Grunn & Stratton, Inc., Orlando, FL (1984)), or by a plasma- free assay as follows. HB- or HP2 factor VIII waε activated by 40 nM thrombin in 0.15 M NaCl, 20 nM HEPES, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.01% Tween 80, pH 7.4, in the preεence of 10 nM factor IXa, 425 nM factor X, and 50 μM unilamellar phoεphatidylεerine/phoεphatidylcholine (25/75, w/w) veεicleε. After 5 minuteε, the reaction was stopped with 0.05 M EDTA and 100 nM recombinant desulfatohirudin, and the resultant factor Xa waε meaεured by chromogenic εubεtrate aεεay, according to the method of Hill-Eubankε, D.C, and P. Lollar, 265 J. Biol. Chem. 17854-17858 (1990) . Under theεe conditionε, the amount of factor Xa formed was linearly proportional to the starting factor VIII concentration as judged by using purified recombinant human factor VIII (Baxter Biotech, Deerfield, IL) aε the εtandard. Prior to clotting assay, HB- or HP2 factor VIII were concentrated from 48 hour conditioned medium to 10-15 units/ml by heparin-Sepharoεe™ chromatography. HB- or HP2 factor VIII were added to hemophilia A plasma (George King Biomedical) to a final concentration of 1 unit/ml. Inhibitor titers in RC or MR plasma or a stock solution of mAb 413 IgG (4 μM) were measured by the Bethesda assay as described by Kasper, C.K. , et al . , 34 Thromb. Diath. Haemorrh. 869- 872 (1975) . Inhibitor IgG was prepared aε deεcribed by Leyte, A., et al . , 266 J. Biol. Chem. 740-746 (1991) . HP2 doeε not react with anti-A2 antibodieε. Therefore, residues 373-603 must contain an epitope for anti-A2 antibodieε. Preparation of hybrid human/ porcine factor VIII and aεεay by splicing by overlap extension (SOE) . Several more hybrid human/porcine factor VIII moleculeε with porcine amino acid εubεtitutions in the human A2 region have been prepared to further narrow the A2 epitope. Besides restriction εite techniqueε, the "splicing by overlap extension" method (SOE) as deεcribed by Ho, S.N., et al . , 77 Gene 51-59 (1989) , haε been used to εubεtitute any arbitrary region of porcine factor VIII cDNA. In SOE, the εplice site is defined by overlapping oligonucleotides that can be amplified to produce the desired cDNA by PCR. Eight cDNA constructs, designated HP4 through HP11, have been made. They were inserted into the ReNeo expresεion vector, εtably transfected into baby hamster kidney cells, and expressed to high levels, as described in Example 7. The hybrid human/porcine factor VIII constructs were assayed for reactivity with the anti-A2 inhibitor MAb413 using the Bethesda assay (Kasper, C.K., et al . , 34 Thromb. Diath. Haemorrh. 869-872 (1975)) . The Bethesda unit (BU) is the standard method for measuring inhibitor titers. The reεultε are εhown in Table V, and are compared to recombinant human factor VIII. TABLE V: COMPARISON OF IMMUNOREACTIVITY OF AMINO ACID-SUBSTITUTED HYBRID HUMAN/PORCINE FACTOR III Conεtruct Porcine Inhibition Substitution MAb413 (BU/mg IgG) Human fVIII None 1470 HP4 373-540 <0.7 HP5 373-509 <0.7 HP6 373-444 1450 HP7 445-509 <0.7 HP8 373-483 1250 HP9 484-509 <0.7 HP10 373-403 1170 HP11 404-509 <0.7 As shown in Table V, if the Bethesda titer is not measurable (<0.7 BU/mg IgG) , then an A2 epitope lies in the region of substituted porcine sequence. The epitope has been progressively narrowed to residues 484-509 (SEQ ID NO:2), consisting of only 26 residues, as exemplified by non-reactivity of MAb413 with HP9. The region between 484-509 can be divided. If εuch diviεion produceε porcine sequences of, for example, residueε 484-497 and 498-509, neither of which react with anti-A2 inhibitory antibodies, this will indicate that the epitope has been εplit, and that amino acidε on both εideε of the 497-498 εplice εite are necessary to produce the epitope. The methods described in Examples 7 and 8 can be used to prepare other hybrid human/non-porcine mammalian factor VIII with amino acid subεtitution in the human A2 domain, hybrid human/animal factor VIII with amino acid εubεtitution in any domain, or other hybrid factor VIII moleculeε or equivalentε εuch hybrid factor VIII having reduced or absent immunoreactivity with anti-factor VIII antibodies.

The method of claim 18 for preparing the hybrid factor VIII molecules of claims 3, 9, and 11. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein the amino acids of one species to be substituted by the corresponding amino acids of the other species form an immunogenic site that reacts with antibodies to human factor VIII inhibiting coagulation activity, and wherein the hybrid factor VIII is lesε immunoreactive than human factor VIII with the inhibitory antibodies to human factor VIII. 21. The method of claim 18, wherein the substituted amino acids contains a determinant of coagulant activity. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the hybrid factor VIII has greater coagulant activity than human factor VIII. 23. The method of claim 16 or 18, wherein the non-human mammalian amino acid sequence is murine or porcine. 24. A method of preparing purified hybrid factor VIII, wherein the hybrid factor VIII comprises porcine and human amino acid sequences, comprising the steps of expressing recombinant DNA encoding domains selected from the group consisting of Al, B, A3, CI, and C2 domains of porcine and human factor VIII, further comprising substituting one or more domains of porcine and human factor VIII. 25. A purified hybrid factor VIII molecule comprising non-human mammalian amino acids of one species and non-human mammalian amino acids of another species, wherein the molecule has procoagulant activity in an in vitro coagulation assay and has reduced immunoreactivity to antibodies directed to human factor VIII. 26. A purified hybrid factor VIII equivalent molecule comprising hybrid, animal, or human factor VIII, wherein the molecule has procoagulant activity in an in vitro coagulation assay, has reduced immunoreactivity to antibodies directed to human factor VIII, and contains amino acid sequence having no known sequence identity to factor VIII. 27. A fusion protein comprising the hybrid factor VIII molecule of claims 1, 3, 9, 11, 25, or 26.
